Freelancer ID account recovery. - Skysurfer - 03-11-2009

To skip the long, boring story: My two old FL ID's are irretrievable due to misplacement of parchment and hard drive controller board toasting, and those said ID's are the very life and soul of my Multiplayer record.

So my question to all the tech-savvy people around here is:
Is there any, ANY way to recover MP FL ID's short a.) tearing up the house to look for a piece of parchment smaller than my hand, b.) finding another controller board of the exact same model of my HDD to repair it, or c.)Paying five grand to get data recovered from the HDD by professionals?

Or am I going to have to start all over again....?


Edit: And I blame Zelot.

Maybe the admins might have it registered in their database under your ships? Just a guess.

Also mate- don't pay 5k to retrieve the files. You would seriously regret it :mellow:

The admins can get it sorted out for you. But searching for the little scrap of paper is always an option.

No they can't. There is no record of anybody's multiplayer ID on the server.

What the Admins (or the Janitor) can do, is set a movechar code on the characters involved, so they can be moved to another account.

This is not done normally, since it is not the server nor the admin teams responsibility to safeguard YOUR account details.

In the future, use Freelancer Account Manager to export an ADF file containing all your account details.
Then use a webbased Email like Gmail, or Hotmail, to send that ADF file to yourself. That way you allways can get hold of the accounts by importing the ADF file into FLAM, and activating them again.

That's what I meant by "they can sort it out for you".

One question: Is the hard drive that Freelancer was on, the same drive that your Operating System is on?

If the answer is YES, then the Admins (wondeerful people Admins) are your only hope.

If the answer is NO, then at least one of your ID's will be retrievable.

In order to do that go here -> http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=759494

There you go.

Hopefully this will help you get at least one of your accounts back.

Ive had problems similar to this before, what I do is find a hard drive of the exact type and take its controller off, then remove the controller of the bad drive and replace it with the controller of the good drive, you have to be very careful if you do this, if this works then copy all of your data to something like an external hard drive or secondary, this will not always work but it generally has worked for me.
